waiting at the bay bridge toll plaza as we show you this closer up. bottom of the screen i saw cars waiting on both sides of the fastrak lanes in the cash lanes itself. looks like they started to move again. there are cars that may represent a delay. no metering lights on yet. volume pretty good and heavier than we've seen for the last couple of fridays. just a note for folks heading into the city right now. map will show you the area still a smooth drive. slowing at the incline as you expect westbound in toward treasure island. here's the issue as well. east 24th still showing the slowing which is a typical pattern. a disabled vehicle clear as you head toward tunnel road. that's better news toward the tunnel. also just in we have a report of a delay for the b.a.r.t. system. ten-minute delay reported for el cerrito. out of el cerrito a ten-minute delay reported because of b.a.r.t. police activity that

"today in the bay's" christie smith live in san francisco with a look at some of the changes. it's been a long time coming for this one. >> reporter: good morning to you, laura. this is really going to take some getting used to because san francisco has had free parking on sundays at meters since way back in the 1940s. of course what's different is back then most stores weren't open on sundays and now they are. the idea is let's say you have a starbucks or cleaners across the street. they want to make sure that people don't just leave their cars all day and everyone has a chance to park and that the cars keep cycling through. everyone has a fair shot. starting this sunday the municipal transportation agency is saying pay up on sundays at all san francisco parking meters. some church groups are saying

this will leave their members running out in the middle of a sunday service just to pump quarters into the meters outside. the agency says that they are just going to run from noon to 6:00 on sunday. so you can also prepay or you can pay up to four hours so that shouldn't really be a problem. at this point the deal is done. >> it's meant to be a program that allows congestion to be relieved, parking to be more available and businesses to thrive because parking is more available for people coming to san francisco to shop. >> reporter: now the good news is there's a grace period of warnings that will be given out for the first three sundays until january 26th. that's when they will start issuing the real parking tickets that are not cheap. we're talking up to $72. fortunately they make it easy to pay giving you plenty of options. credit cards, debit cards, parking cards, coins, you can even pay with your cell phone. reporting live in san francisco,
